Anemia is one type of red blood cell disorder. A lack of the mineral iron in your blood usually causes this disorder. Your body needs iron to produce the protein hemoglobin, which helps your red blood cells carry oxygen from your lungs to the rest of your body.
Heat transfer refers to the physical process by which heat energy moves from one area to another. The Heat Transfer Methods figure above illustrates various heat transfer methods. Branches above the fire are receiving heat by convection and radiation.
Also found in: Acronyms, Wikipedia. Heat transfer. Heat, a form of kinetic energy, is transferred in three ways: conduction, convection, and radiation. Heat transfer (also called thermal transfer) can occur only if a temperature difference exists, and then only in the direction of decreasing temperature. Beyond this, the mechanisms and laws governing each of these ways are quite different. See Conduction (heat), Convection (heat), Heat radiation. By utilizing a knowledge of the principles governing the three methods of heat transfer and by a proper selection and fabrication of materials, the designer attempts to obtain the required heat flow.
